Just hope the automatic lift doesn't automatically lower as well like it does in the Cayenne. JJ just about ripped out the undercarriage at Licola when the car lowered itself and he forgot to lift it again.

Did I hear IRS as well as IFS?

Uggh.....those gay half height headlights spoil an otherwise good looking rig. Looks to handle well....the legendary wallow may be a thing of the past.

But independant suspension means it can no longer be classed as a serious 4wd. But then again, neither can the current 200 series or the 2010 Patrol which have gone down the same track.

And the Overland (wouldn't that name imply being used off road?) has 265/50/20 tyres. Their for high speed touring on smooth blacktop. You wouldn't take them off road.

The soccer mums have won.

RIP to three great 4wd's!

Personally I dont like how the headlight 'collide' into the side of the grille. Makes it look like a after thought that they made them too wide and then had to mould the grille around them.
